I believe Bing is the better search engine because they provided more search results. Google
had 147,000,00 in search results and Bing had 408,000,000 in search results.

4. a) The article was written on February 12, 2016 and no it has not been up since
b) Yes, this article relates to my topic because Tinder is a dating app on a mobile device.
c) The author of this article is Sara Ashley OBrien. Sara OBrien is qualified to write this
because she has a degree in Journalism and she also has experience in writing articles on
technology.
d) No, I don't believe this article is trust worthy. Even though She provides the results of the
survey that was conducted and some statistics about what age group is an avid user of the
dating app. They were never tested for accuracy.
e) This article was to inform the readers about how college students use dating apps for
multiple uses. This article was also neutral and didn't show any bias material.
5. a) The internet article was a lot easier to access. All had to do was to type my topic in the
search engine and a lot of article come up. For the DB article it would of been a lot harder if i
didn't have access to the CCBC Library website.
b) When it comes to data based articles theyre not that up to date. The articles were not
current on the chosen topics. Whereas internet articles are posted on the internet everyday.

c) Internet articles are not trustworthy when there is accuracy needed. Even though the article
came from CNN does not mean it is trustworthy. Anybody can post an opinionated article on that
website.
